Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
DEF

A group of atoms which occurs in the molecules of many compound, and which remains unchanged through chemical reactions. ... Organic radicals are often indicated by R in chemical formulas.

DEF

A group of atoms which may enter into several combinations as a unit, and take part in reactions like an elementary substance.

CONT

Organic acids contain carbon, and usually contain the group or radical -COOH, called the carboxyl radical.

CONT

dicarboxylic acid. A carboxylic acid containing two-COOH radicals, e. g. adipic, oxalic, phthalic, sebacic and maleic acids.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
DEF

Groupement d'atomes caractérisant une fonction, ayant une valence propre et pouvant se déplacer tout d'une pièce d'une combinaison à une autre.

CONT

carboxylique. Se dit d'un acide organique contenant le groupement -CO2H.

CONT

carboxyle. Radical monovalent -CO2H des acides organiques.

OBS

On peut aussi, en étendant son aire sémantique, appeler radical tout groupe d'atomes dissociés d'une molécule qui agit comme une entité distincte.

OBS

On confond très souvent les différents sens de radical. Dans l'atmosphère, milieu chimique assez particulier, c'est de radical libre dont il est le plus souvent question quand on parle de radical, car les molécules y sont déjà instables.
